The Philosopher Aristotle introduced the idea of "Perfect Friendship". The meaning of this term is being friends with someone that has a similar personality as you and the relationship between these people is only for pleasantness, not for utility. I am very thankful for having this kind of friendship with my best friend Riya. Riya and I have similar personalities where our favorite food is Sushi, we both hate swimming, and both of us always put others before us gladly. In our relationship there is no utility. We are also friends because we find each others company pleasant, we like hanging out with each other and never get bored of each other. Once when we were little we were on a camping trip with a bunch of other classmates, during that time everyone hung out with their friends. Everyone talked to each other but when I was talking to Riya we immediately became best friends because we disliked the same things and admired the same things. Our similar personality shows that we have the :Perfect Friendship".

ReplyDeleteThat's funny how you both became friends by disliking the same things.
ReplyDeletePerfect perfect friendship:) like the pic as well!
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job at describing Aristotle's perfect friendship. You and your friend Riya seem to have a friendship that even Aristotle would have thought fit his perfect friendship idea.
ReplyDeleteYour friendship seems really nice, but you described a perfect friendship and being based on pleasantness. That's actually a third type of friendship, not really a perfect friendship.
